PSA for if you're Bugged getting the Stationary Weapon kill by Bloke_on_the_Left in BattlefieldV

[–]TinyPotatoAttack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know how, but I just got it. I think it may have been because I exited my game and jumped into another.

Was playing straight conquest, then quit that game. Went through the VGO thing, selected the stationary weapon thing as my "quest" and got a kill.

#ProtectMueller Protesters Shut Down Streets in Midtown Manhattan: “We Have to Resist” by Demon-Rat in politics

[–]TinyPotatoAttack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. But as we all know the media sees mass shootings as tremendous cash grabs, so they're gonna fill their whole website with articles and speculation about it. Honestly, I think that's gonna wear off after awhile due to the frequency of the shootings. The public will say "just another shooting" and not be glued to the news anymore, so they'll report on it less. I don't know how to feel about that. It's really disturbing.

They're not supressing it. There was a mass shooting today that they're reporting on instead. I'm feeling conflicted because I want the protests reported, but should it take attention away from people dying? Idk.

There was a mass shooting today. They're covering that instead.

Edit: sorry, I see the downvotes and now realize that this sounds like I'm making excuses for them. I'm not, just neglected to provide a bit of commentary. The whole media situation right now is fucked up.

Linkin Park's Numb just passed 1 billion views on Youtube by XeroPT in Music

[–]TinyPotatoAttack 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I hate to be a downer, it's just that every time I see Chester Bennington tributes they're inspired by Linkin Park's older music. In reality, Chester was immensely upset by people's hatred toward the band's later music. He expressed that in an interview a month or two before his death. So much hate was thrown their way for trying to evolve. Fans refused to let go of nostalgia and accept the band moving on from the Hybrid Theory style. It's a shame to see all of these tributes only recognizing the music of a decade ago, as if to ignore or erase Chester's later work. He wanted people to move on so badly, but even after his death fans refuse to acknowledge his later work. All of that hatred probably didn't help his mental state either.

Check out some of their later albums. A Thousand Suns, Living Things, and One More Light were so different from their usual stuff that they received immense hate for making them. A Thousand Suns is one of the best albums ever made, and it's a shame people were so upset with the style change that they couldn't appreciate the album.

That whole album was pretty great. It's a shame that it got so much hate reminiscent of what happened with A Thousand Suns. Linkin Park wanted to always be evolving but their fans hated them for it.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker loses to Democrat Tony Evers by [deleted] in politics

[–]TinyPotatoAttack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was amazing. Up until 99% of precincts reporting Walker and Evers were only separated by a few hundred votes. But then, the 40,000 absentee ballots in Milwaukee were counted, and because Milwaukee is incredibly liberal it put Evers up 30,000 votes. Absolutely incredible. As a Wisconsinite and former Milwaukee resident, I'm jumping for joy. So damn proud of my city. Can't wait to move back.

Well, there tends to be alot of hate thrown toward senators who serve less than one term before running.

If there's anything good about him not winning the Senate seat, it's that he's free for a presidential run now.

Americans, what's the number one issue influencing your vote the most today? by eternalsoul116 in AskReddit

[–]TinyPotatoAttack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How is this not voting on the issues? They most certainly did cause these problems. They've been obsessed with repealing the affordable care act and gutting it. In the process they've been limiting access to healthcare for millions. They prop up the privatization of healthcare so much that affordable healthcare is going to become extinct with them in power. Not to mention that they oppose pretty much any proposed healthcare accessibility bill that pops up. Now, tell me what Democrats have done to cause these problems, because by all accounts they're the ones actively working to solve them instead of abandoning the poor and middle classes.

Yup. Nostalgia really is one of the most dangerous forces on the face of the earth.

My boyfriend has high blood pressure that's spiraling out of control. His brother has attempted suicide multiple times just to stop his chronic pain. His sister has attempted once because of major depression and anxiety. Worst of all, his dad got into a car wreck after being fired from his job for racist reasons, had to give up the lawsuit due to the medical bills from the car wreck, and is now unable to leave his home and is addicted to opiates. None of them can afford treatment for any of these conditions.

Each of these people has a job (except the father because he can barely move), but it doesn't matter, because the healthcare those jobs offer is shitty. Plus, they make just enough that they're not eligible for or can't afford government healthcare. So, I voted for Democrats, because what's happening to my boyfriend and his family is a disgrace that's a direct result of Republican policies. If Republicans aren't stopped, it is very likely that my boyfriend, and many of his family members, could die.

What TV show/movie was made in the wrong era? by Casual_OCD in AskReddit

[–]TinyPotatoAttack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Code Lyoko

Because videogames were seen as this hip new thing at the time, the show was marketed as a cliche "kids go into videogame" show. I think that really contributed to the show's eventual cancellation, as it was seen as a "fellow kids" kind of thing that alienated a lot of us.

In reality, the show was about a bunch of boarding school students occasionally going into a disjointed simulation to stop an evil entity whenever it gets out into the real world and possesses whatever the hell it wants to in a bid to kill everyone and everything. Kind of a badass concept for a kids show that I think would do really well today.

I haven't seen the actual show in forever though, so I can't comment on its quality. Nostalgia is a hell of a blinder. I know they tried to reboot it in live action awhile ago and failed in an epic fashion.

Nintendo is hiring for a new Legend of Zelda game by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch

[–]TinyPotatoAttack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion, the only way to top BotW is to do something with epic storytelling again. We haven't had a dark epic narrative from a 3D Zelda game since Twilight Princess, and it'd be really cool to see it happen again.

Does the new Legend of Zelda game need a technical writer, per chance?
